Product Description
One of the biggest and most ubiquitous hits of the early 2000's, "The Middle" was a breakout hit for Jimmy Eat World that placed them among the ranks of other big names of the day like Weezer, Blink-182 and Green Day. It was impossible not to know this song back then, and it has since become a classic throwback song for the millennial generation! This arrangement for solo violin maintains the fun upbeat tempo and dynamic contrasts of the original, and it's pretty much guaranteed to get everybody singing along! This chart was originally written for a wedding, but it will also be perfect for pop concerts, solo & ensemble contests, parties, corporate events, or any occasion when you need some throwback rock. No accompaniment part -- it stands alone, or can be played with a backing track for solo gigs. This chart stays entirely in first position and will be sightreadable for professionals and learnable for intermediate students -- the only slightly tricky part is the fun guitar solo in the middle!
